The Surrogate||JIKOOK

9.•Carrying Their Love•

Jimin's days have been going on with agony and anticipation for the past few weeks. Every morning he wakes up with eagerness, checking his mobile for that one text saying a good morning wish, or simply ‘how are you doing’.

That would make Jimin's entire day. He hasn't seen Jungkook since that day. The male had told him he was busy with things at his office and meetings outside Korea. But still Jimin wished to see a glance of him. Just a few words over one coffee. That was enough for him.

But he was happy about his Seol. He got his surgery date recently. Jungkook had done everything prior to his departure to London last week.

Seol had been admitted to one of the elite hospitals in Korea, everything done by his father.

“Woah! This hospital is like those five star hotels, Jiminie. You would have seen the way that staff lead me to their cafeteria. It's huge. They were treating me like a prince.” 

Jimin smiled, feeding Seol another spoon of his soup. Atleast Jin was happy here.

“Enough momma.” Seol said, holding his stomach, stating that he is full. Jimin wiped his mouth with a towel and removed the burp cloth from Seol's chest.

Jimin decided to leave Seol with Jin and walked outside towards the pharmacy. It's been five weeks. He thinks he is ready for a test.

But also, Jimin wasn't sure. Apart from feeling tired and nauseous a few times. Jimin hasn't felt like dying like when he was pregnant with Seol. The morning sickness always felt like he was dying. At least he thinks this baby is like him and not like their father who can be naughty at times.

Jimin bought a few kits just in case and walked towards the common toilet on the floor Jungkook booked for them.

Jimin was done in a few minutes as he waited for those magical lines to appear on the UPT stick. He definitely doesn't want to cry dirty tears in this hospital bathroom. Jungkook and his story would end here if it comes out negative. They would have to go their separate ways a lot earlier than expected. Jimin can’t even imagine that right now. He just wants to be with the older even if it's for a few months.

“You have faced more troubles in your life than this Jiminah. Open it and see.” He assured himself before flipping the three sticks simultaneously.

His eyes immediately widened with tears brimming in them.

They were going to be parents again.

He was pregnant.

He is with Jungkook's baby. Jimin cupped his mouth to crumble his sobs. He is going to be a mother again. But as soon as the happiness came, it went just like that as he thought about the purpose of his body nurturing this baby.

Is he really going to let go of this baby after giving them birth?

Jimin clutched at his lower stomach with widened eyes. How can he not fall in love with this small bundle of joy? It's their baby. His and Jungkook's baby.

“You did this for, Seol. Look, he is getting his surgery done soon. Isn't that what you wanted in the beginning? How come your priorities change so soon?” Jimin mumbled under his breath.

He wiped the remaining tears left in his eyes before walking out, hiding one stick in his pants pocket and discarding the rest in the dustbin.

He should be the one to know about this news first. Jimin couldn't talk about his last pregnancy to Jungkook. He wants to say this into his face at least this time.

Jimin got up from the other bed he was sleeping with a groan that night. He was hearing a small knock for the past few seconds. But he thought he was dreaming until the knocks became louder.
